Anglican bishop facing church charges of abuse and bullying (user submitted)
Bullying, abuse charges laid against bishop
Story Added : 10th March 2010
Details have emerged of church charges laid against the Anglican Bishop of the Murray diocese, Ross Davies.
Bishop Davies has denied all the allegations and is still practising in the diocese.
Adelaide Archbishop Jeffrey Driver and the Bishop of Willochra, Garry Weatherill, have laid nine church charges against Bishop Davies in a complaint document.
A lawyer for the plaintiffs, Nick Iles, says there are allegations of emotional and verbal abuse and bullying.
Mr Iles has confirmed one charge accuses Bishop Davies of protecting former Archdeacon of the Murray diocese, Peter Coote, who was accused of sexual misconduct.
Mr Coote has been stood down since April 2008 because of an ongoing Anglican Church investigation.
In a statement, Bishop Davies says he has done nothing wrong and will defend himself against the charges.
